Col, John Foster was in the city today attending a meetingot' the :!m rd of Couoty Commissioners. Co , I'osler had read Mumford !'(tiers Blackbird story and told me one about th* myriads of ‘Thi - teen year locusts” that are swarming and singing all over his district. I faih.d to take it down m detail, but if my memory serves me correctly it set forth these tacts. * * * •‘I never saw so many locusts in all my life. Just think of it. ir-re last week my old bell cow tailed to come up for a day or two and finally my folks became alarmed, and had me to organize a searching party. After scouring the woods for half a day we found her.’’ * * * ■‘She was standing in a fence coiner over behind the clover field and could riot get out because the locusts had stacked themselves up n.io a wall or dam across the base ot the corner. Os course we were supprised but lUr surprise gave way to indignation when upon closer investigation we discovered a few of the ringleaders were try ing to milk her.” * * “ And that’s act all that is re markable about this state ot facts for when we noticed the meekeyed failhful old cow shako her head and try to ring her bell, we <1 no noise, and upon examinat ion, we discovered that an “executive com ui'tteo” of the locusts were swing ing on to the clapper a la “Kerfew shall not ring tonight” styh • Then there was a canvassing com. mittee that was over in the clover lot ; these w*re busy sawing wood and carrying clover through th* ci-ucks of the fence to keep the cov\ busy in the manufacture ot milk. ’ • * * I asked him how the cow was enjoying herself and he repii*d “why she was skeered *o death — why when she left home ft few days before, she was a black cow, but when we found her she looked like she had been peddl’hg milk .-.hake through a blondine factory.'’ *** Mr. Foster, we think, rescued the Cow by letting the locust dam • evt-rely alone. He just let down ihe fence —which naturally put i he cow “in clover.’’ + + + + F + Hon. Tv-rrell Speed is not ouly iu the city today, but tells me that he is in the race for the legisla ture. lie says he will not run as a democrat nor as a populist but as a “bulger”— and promises to -ho v the boys a few tnx on expert “Egg liustiD.’’ I must respectfully call editor Coopers attention to the latter, * * * Hon.
